Senior Center
The Senior Center of Milford provides services and activities for older adults (60+) in Seward County, but everyone of any age is welcome to participate in the activities at The Center.
Volunteers are always welcome! Many opportunities exist for volunteers to share their time and talents. Over the years many have helped by preparing and serving meals, delivering meals, training people to use the exercise equipment, preparing for our fundraisers, leading a new game, or teaching crafts, and exercise classes. New ideas are always welcome!
Several people come in for coffee, morning snacks, and to share stories, jokes and spend time with friends from 8:00 am to 11:00 am. each day. The center opens at 8:00 am and is open, most days, until 4:00 pm but this depends on the afternoon activities.
At the center we offer multiple types of exercise opportunities: yoga, resistance bands, Wii bowling, Tai Chi, Chair Exercises, and an exercise room in the basement with several types of equipment. You are always welcome to try a class or maybe just come and observe if you’re not sure what the class is about. Everyone starts at the beginning, so just give it a try!
Nutritious noon meals are served each weekday. Reservations must be made one day in advance by 2:00 pm. There is a suggested contribution for each meal. Our Potato Bake Fundraiser is held on the 2nd Wednesday of each month (baked potato bar, salad bar, dessert and drink); the last Wednesday of each month is scheduled to celebrate that month’s birthdays where a special meal will be served with entertainment following. We’ve enjoyed Music Bingo, a variety of story tellers and talented impersonators ranging from Neil Diamond to Elvis. All are invited, but reservations must be made in advance. Be sure to check the monthly calendar or call The Center for current pricing. The monthly meal calendar is posted below.
A scheduled game of Pitch takes place every Tuesday and Thursday starting around 1:00 pm. If you can’t make it during the daytime then join us the first Thursday of each month at 7:00 pm for Pitch, a little competition, and fun! You don’t know how to play? Come and learn….we’ll teach you as there are individuals with various levels of experience around the table who enjoy visiting with the other players.
Are you of the creative sort who enjoys crafting? There is usually at least one craft each month. Don’t need anything else at home, but still want to craft? We’ve got you covered. You’re welcome to make and take the craft but if you’d rather not add to your collection then, by all means, leave your finished design with us as we can always use it to enhance the environment at The Center!
B-I-N-G-O! Who doesn’t like to give a yell when they win a game? Prizes are a perk, too! Bingo is held on the first Wednesday of the month at 12:45 pm. There may be other dates and times each month where another option to play B-I-N-G-O is available so check out the calendar!
Daylight Donuts at the Way Station blesses The Center, and all of Milford, from 7:00 am to 10:00 am on the 2nd Wednesday of each month and parks in our driveway at The Center. You can grab a delicious donut and head to work, get the kids a treat before school, or bring the treat into The Center early and enjoy it with a hot cup of coffee; we open at 7:00 am when Daylight is in the drive!
Coffee. Conversation. Fellowship. Exercise. Crafts, Games. Meals. There’s something for everyone! Come see for yourself! There are jigsaw puzzles to put together, books to peruse and borrow, and always lively conversation.
The Center offers regularly scheduled blood pressure screenings and foot care; nutrition education through Aging Partners is offered each month, too. All scheduled activities are on the Activity Calendar.
Scroll down for the current newsletter, menu, and activities calendar. While The Center works hard to provide an accurate calendar with monthly menu and activities, sometimes there are changes outside of our control. Our goal is to keep our folks informed and we do so by using email (be added to the list by calling The Center) and via our Facebook page: Milford Senior Center.
Email, or call, the center and let us know if you would like to receive the newsletter via email.
